1 Revision history for Perl extension ZOOM::IRSpy.
4 - Liberalise hostname validation regexp, so that hyphens are
6 - Add Search::Bath to Search::Main test.
7 - Assess reliability on the basis of the last sixty days only.
8 - Test for simple access-point-only searches when Bath-profile
10 - Introduce the notion of rules, which are applied under
11 specified conditions resulting in specified actions. As a
12 motivating example, when working on a server with an
13 implementation name (or ID or version) matching a specified
14 regular expression, skip a named test: this is used to avoid
15 having the test of catalog.dallaslibrary.org:210/PAC hang
16 when we attempt to test its CQL capabilities.
17 - Sample rules file etc/dallas.rules
18 - The Web UI sets $ZOOM::IRSpy::xslt_max_depth to 3500, just
19 like the overnight test-script. This is a hideous hack to
20 cope with the fact that XSLT can't iterate, and explodes if
21 you ask it to recurse across a list of more than a half
23 - New script bin/irspy-xpath.pl -- a simple wrapper for
24 running an XPath with IRSpy-related namespaces established.
25 - Record::Fetch test registers a fail when the syntax actually
26 retrieved does not match that requested. Fixes bug IR-324.
27 - Record::OPAC test check that record returned in piggyback
28 after OPAC-record request really is an OPAC record. Fixes
31 1.02 Wed Jul 7 16:43:36 BST 2010
32 - Enhance setrlimit program so that it can set maximum
33 address-space size as well as number of file descriptors.
34 - Add new restrict_modulo() method to restrict tests to those
35 targets whose ID hashes to a number satisfying
37 - Add new command-line options -m <n>,<i> to invoke
38 restrict_modulo(). This enables us to set up cron jobs to
39 test one seventh of the targets each night.
40 - Modify Zebra configuration to expect Z39.50 query terms to
41 be encoded using UTF-8 (which is what the Web UI uses)
42 rather than the default ISO-8859-1. Fixes bug #3420.
43 - Add new test Record::OPAC which checks the ability to return
44 multiple OPAC records in a piggy-backed Search Response.
45 Test result is saved in the new element
46 <irspy:status/irspy:multiple_opac>
47 - Add new test Search::Bath which checks the ability to
48 respond to Bath-profile searches. Test result is saved in
49 the new element <irspy:status/irspy:search_bath name="NAME">
50 for NAME in "author", "title", "subject" and "any".
51 - The web UI displays this new information in full-record
53 - A target can be disabled from participating in testing by
54 setting the irspy:status/i:disabled xmlns element. This can
55 be set and unset from the Admin UI. It's useful for
56 omitting targets that make long test runs take too long.
57 - Improve input validation for new targets.
58 - New and enhanced admin scripts (in ./bin) for IRSpy
60 - Fix search for zeerex.reliability = 0, bug #3399
61 - Improve timeout handling of targets. Stop testing a target
62 if we got to many timeouts (>= 3). Otherwise we have to wait
63 up to an hour to finish all tests for a broken target. A
64 complete tests of all targets is now much faster and more
66 - Ignore case for record syntax field. This solves the problem that
67 you cannot search for record syntax "USmarc" if the server
68 response was in lowercase "usmarc".
69 - Run only one instance of the IRSpy script at a time.
70 - Use iconv character-set name "UTF-8" rather than "UTF8" as
71 the latter is for some reason not supported by the iconv
72 package in the Macports collection.
73 - _irspy_identifier2target() recognises and allows for
74 comma-separated ZOOM-style options at the front of IRSpy
76 - Fix bug #3534, which caused targets to be probed for
77 record-syntax support using the wrong
78 preferredRecordSyntax.
79 - Reorder record-syntaxes probed to reduce likelihood of early
80 failure. Ameliorates, but does not fix, bug #3548.
81 - irspy.pl and irspy-dump.pl are now installed as binaries.
82 - Add sample Apache2 configuration to distribution.
83 - robots.txt used to ameliorate web-site spamming.
85 1.01 Mon Jul 16 12:51:19 BST 2007
86 - Web UI pages to add or upload a new target are now publicly
87 accessible -- although admin privileges are still required
88 to edit the newly added records, since there is no simple
89 way to know that the person editing a record is the same
90 person who first added it.
91 - When adding new records via the Web UI, the port number is
92 guessed from the protocol if not explicitly stated.
93 - Note that Web UI's ZeeRex upload expects just the ZeeRex
94 record, not an entire SRU explainResponse.
96 1.00 Mon Jul 9 10:42:06 BST 2007
97 - First public release.
98 - Many, many changes since 0.02.
100 0.02 Wed Jun 27 12:09:49 BST 2007
101 - Renamed from Net::Z3950::IRSpy to ZOOM::IRSpy
102 - Fix display of non-ASCII characters in, for example, the
103 list of targets beginning with "R".
104 - Change targets() API to accept a Perl list rather than a
105 space-separated string.
106 - Change check.html parameters to cleanly accept multiple
107 target IDs even if they contain spaces.
108 - Proper URL-encoding of all link parameters.
109 - Proper HTML-quoting of all output.
110 - Capture YAZ logging output for web display.
111 - Add Dublin Core record format to Zebra configuration.
112 - Much better "Add a target" form, including:
114 - URL to hosting organisation
115 - Email to technical contact
116 - Username/password if needed
117 - Type of library (Academic, Public, Corporate,
118 Special, National, Education or Other)
120 - "Add another database to this target" button.
121 - Form for editing details of an existing target.
122 - Require authentication for database-changing operations
123 such as target testing, adding a new target and
124 editing and existing one.
125 - Add statistics page like that one at
126 http://targettest.indexdata.com/stat.php
127 - Record deletion and ID change works correctly even when the
128 ID contains spaces or non-ASCII characters.
129 - Many, many more enhancements.
